* Quote, FGrose, "usually not under the Sugar Creation Kit hierarchy". Is it unreasonable to increase the heirarchy?

 +
*: An increase in the hierarchy would be reasonable as long as it is limited to the scope of Sugar Creation Kit.  Sugar Creation Kit is defined as a DVD containing all the resources required to create Sugar on a Stick without requiring Internet access or the online references to those and other resources to make it easy to download and create one's own DVD of resources for offline creation of Sugar.<br><br>
 +
*: "Sugar Creation" is the scope of the entire Sugar Labs wiki.  The "Sugar Creation Kit" is a tool to facilitate that for those with Internet connectivity limitations.  Of course, everything that is valuable in an offline setting is valuable in the online setting, as well.  So the principal value of Sugar Creation Kit wiki content comes from its annotated organization of web content.  (The 04 January 2011 date for the DVD suggests that the online version is used primarily as an annotated index and rarely for composing a DVD.)<br><br>
 +
*: The current SCK hierarchy contains original content that should stand independently or elsewhere within the Sugar Labs wiki.  Some examples of this are the Tutorials, Sugar in Virtualization, Sugar on a Stick/Version history, and Raspberry pi pages.<br><br>
 +
*: Other pages within SCK would better serve all readers if they were directly associated with the original topic pages.  This can be accomplished through the use of the wiki subpage and transclusion tools.  Use of these tools also works to reduce redundancy (from copying content), which helps to maintain currency of the wiki as only a single source needs to be updated as information changes.  By following these principles, over time, the wiki becomes more sustainable and accessible, as a topic's history is in one place, and there is less fragmented and conflicting information.
 +
*:: It may take a bit of time and editing history to recognize those topic sections that fit this publishing model.  One immediate benefit is seen by including a ==Subpages index== section to significant pages, which will ''automatically'' update as new subpages are created. (See [[Sugar Network]] or [[Platform Team/Harmonic Distribution]], for example.) --[[User:FGrose|FGrose]] 22:11, 26 June 2012 (EDT)
 
* In order for Sugar Creation Kit to remain an accessible source of all types of Sugar image files, we might group these sub pages under [Sugar Creation Kit/Sources].

 +
*: See recent edits to [[Emulator image files]] for an example of how the subpage transclusion model is used to maintain topic organization and potentially annotated summaries with reuse instead of copying sources.  --[[User:FGrose|FGrose]] 22:11, 26 June 2012 (EDT)
 
* An aspect of Sugar Creation Kit is the testing function. The classification [Sugar Creation Kit/Testing] might invite contributions, while pages in this section would be more easily recognised as expired as time goes by.
